I say, "Keep the faith!"
IMHO, the number of lines a system is estimated to be should
not be the sole determining factor on which language to use.
As cianoz mentioned, analysis is very important.
You should also consider what the program does. A few years
ago, I wrote a large part of a data conversion system (that formatted
gigabytes of data from different database formats to a single
database format) in C.
I was required to write it in C, but I often think how much
easier/shorter/more efficent it would have been if I had been
allowed to write it in Perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
